Foster Homes during Covid-19 "Shelter at Home" period

Thank you for your interest to foster during this very difficult time! Due to risks, we are limiting our foster program to homes close to our volunteers and vets in San Leandro, Hayward, Fremont, Santa Clara and Peninsula counties. We have no office nor shelter. We do not have any back up boarding should the dog or cat not work out. Please offer your foster help to your local shelters for closer meet, supplies, vet care, return and support. Please see our shelter page for a animal shelter near you.

To foster, please complete the entire application. Bold text means required field. The person filling out this application must be an adult (21 yrs+) and the primary owner or renter of your home. Please complete the entire application so it will help us review for a match.
*Note: San Francisco Bay Area only*

Before submit your application, please read the following.

All family members must be present at the adoption showcase and/or the home visit in order to meet and adopt the dog/puppy.

Renters must provide a "Written Letter of Approval" from landlord allowing the pet. Home owner, provide name(s) on Deed.

NOTE: A volunteer will contact you within 72 hours if the dog is available and a match.
We look for life long matches based on the animal's activity level, training needs, care, personality and behavior traits. We do not have a shelter or office. Dogs are home fostered by compassionate volunteers. Thanks!
